ActionLayer API

A secure, user-scoped backend API for saving links, generating plans, and sharing shortlinks with async processing and analytics.

Overview

ActionLayer API is a modular backend system built to power a productivity and content workflow platform. It exposes authenticated endpoints for account management, saved item ingestion, plan generation, and shortlink redirects, with strict user scoping and ownership checks across mutation routes. The API uses JWT-based auth, validation-first request contracts, and asynchronous processing for metadata extraction and classification workflows. The architecture focuses on clean service boundaries, predictable response formats, and production-grade operational behavior.
